Ren Xue - A Path to Harmony and Wisdom - Queenstown

REN XUE helps develop the creative capabilities and wisdom needed to survive and thrive in an increasingly tumultuous world.

As technology, environmental changes and geo-political forces push us toward a new and challenging reality, wisdom - based on an understanding of the laws of the universe - provides a base from which we can creatively adapt, calmly manage our lives and positively affect the lives of others.

Yuan Qigong is REN XUE’s practice of movements, postures and breathing designed to help us live more creative, adaptive lives in today’s challenging   world.

Ren Xue and Yuan Gong give you practical, effective tools for managing your mind and emotional wellbeing, from the inside out.

REN XUE helps us find inner harmony through practices that elevate both body and mind. REN XUE also helps us find outer harmony – in our personal relationships, with society, and with nature.

REN XUE’s main disciplines are Yuan Qigong and Yuan Ming Medicine.

Yuan Qigong – a way to health, self-realization and wisdom. A type of Qigong that offers still and moving meditations – Yuan Qigong is easy to learn, safe and very effective. It reduces stress and focuses the mind. When used consistently, a practitioner can experience true inner freedom and happiness.

Whereas Yuan Qigong is a discipline for working on ourselves, Yuan Ming Medicine is a discipline for helping others. It offers healing techniques that can diminish the effects of injury and illness.

Both disciplines share the fundamental goals of greater health, happiness, sense of wellbeing and growth. Both provide a foundation for a good and meaningful future.

An introduction to Ren Xue Life Cultivation.

In this 2 hour workshop you will experience a guided meditation to ‘open your heart consciousness’ followed by a group Qi Healing to bring harmony to health issues on the Jing (body), Qi (energy / Prana) or Shen (mind) levels of your being.

You will also learn about the ‘5 Xin’ (essential qualities of the heart) which each of us must ‘cultivate’ in order to improve our health and wellbeing, as well as evolve our consciousness, in order to contribute to the upliftment of the planet as a whole.

The ultimate goal of Ren Xue is self-realization and wisdom - to elevate one’s consciousness and wellbeing to ever higher levels - because it is only when we are operating from higher levels of self-awareness that we are able to impact the world in wiser and more beneficial ways. Self-realization and enlightenment are akin to the ‘union’ (‘yoga’) all students of all yogic lineages are seeking.

The evening workshop is an opportunity to experience the palpable peace of a ‘harmonious Qi Field’ as well as learn about the benefits of the Ren Xue life cultivation system and its associated methods of Yuan Gong Qigong.

The evening will be led by Master Qigong instructor Kim Knight, who has been studying directly with Master Yuan Tze, the founder of the Ren Xue system, since 2009. This is her third visit to Yoga Nadi in Queenstown, and she is very much looking forward to teaching here again.

The workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Evening workshop agenda:

• Brief introduction to the Ren Xue and Yuan System of life cultivation
• Overview of the 9 levels (methods) of Yuan Gong for cultivating consciousness and improving health
• Introductory guided meditation to experience ‘an open heart’ – a ‘soupcon’ (taste) of the full ‘heart consciousness’ meditation method
• Summary of the 10 signs of a ‘closed’ heart so you can self-reflect on the status of your own ‘Xin Ling’ (heart consciousness)
• Group guided Qi Healing session to bring harmony to Jing (body) Qi (prana) and Shen (mind / consciousness)
• Q&A

Note: all participants of this workshop will be eligible for a $50 voucher to put towards Kim’s full ‘Heart Consciousness’ online home study training program, a comprehensive online meditation series for cultivating the 5 essential qualities of the heart.

Yuan Tze Ren Xue is a holistic system which draws upon ancient wisdom culture, combined with contemporary philosophy and science, bringing you transformational techniques for uplifting mind, body and spirit. 

REN XUE

'Ren Xue' is the overriding philosophy of this system of life cultivation. It shows you how to evolve and improve your life on all levels (mind, body and spirit). The ultimate goal of Ren Xue is to develop greater and greater levels of self-realization, until you reach the state of 'enlightenment' where you recognize your own True Self.

YUAN GONG

'Yuan Gong' is the name given to the 9 methods and practices  which are used to improve your wellbeing and evolve your consciousness. In so doing you return to your 'natural' state, which is inner calm, joy, wellbeing, health and stillness, which comes through the unification of Jing (body), Qi and Shen (consciousness). Symptoms of illness can disappear, the mind regains its natural state of clarity and creativity, and deep peace and authentic inner joy prevail. This is your birthright.

Di Yuan, 'Earthly' Qigong, is the second of the Qigong methods within the 9 level Yuan Gong system. 

Whilst in Tian Yuan, (the first method of Yuan Gong), you gather Qi from the universe into your body to replenish your Qi (energy / prana) reserves, in Di Yuan, (the second method), you learn how to store this Qi so it can be used by the body-mind for maximum benefit.

When practicing Di Yuan, a ‘still standing’ form, you learn how to store and personalize the Qi you have gathered in Tian Yuan. Whilst it is useful and beneficial to first learn and practice Tian Yuan before Di Yuan, you can learn and practice Di Yuan directly, as it has many benefits, such as calming the monkey mind, centring mind and body, preserving energy, increasing mental focus, strengthening will and more.

When you learn Di Yuan, you have a life-affirming Qigong method which you will be able to use for the rest of your life to improve and uplift your life. Continuous practice of Di Yuan improves health and also lays the foundation for further Yuan Gong learning.

Workshop Agenda

• Learn the theory and practice of Di Yuan ‘Earthly’ Qigong
• Learn about your 3 ‘Tan Tien’  - 3 inner reservoirs of energy / storage centres in your body, each of which store a different type of Qi
• Learn essential Ren Xue theory which underpins the practical Qigong exercises of the Yuan Gong methods
• Learn the ‘6 verses’ for preparing the mind and body for Di Yuan Gong Qigong practice – these 6 verses prepare the Shen (consciousness) and Jing (body) to develop calmness, inner harmony and focus
• Increase your personal will (Zhi) which is closely related with the Kidney energy
• Increase feelings of centredness, calmness and ‘staying calm amidst the storm’
• Learn a Qigong routine which is safe, effective and easy to practice with immediate health benefits

Common benefits of Di Yuan:

• A calming of the chatterbox mind
• A sense of inner harmony and peace
• Relief from physical symptoms and pain
• A positive realignment of posture which in turn increases natural Qi flow, which in turn turns on the self-healing response of the body, which in turns promotes natural healing
• Release Qi (energy) blockages which create pain and discomfort
• Renewed clarity of thinking leading to increased creativity and productivity
• Better energy and a new habit of storing rather than draining or wasting precious life force energy reserves
• A balancing of the Qi in the internal organs and meridian pathways
• And a lot more!

This workshop is suitable for Yuan Gong practitioners of any level, from complete beginners to advanced. How is this possible? When you learn Yuan Gong you enter each class at your current level of learning, and grow and develop your expertise from there.
